Emma Watson has signed to star in the new thriller Regression from director Alejandro Amenabar. Ethan Hawke stars as a man who is accused of abusing his daughter, and despite having no memory of it, admits guilt, only to then have a psychologist help him "remember" his crimes and also implicate a police officer. Suddenly other locals begin "remembering" similar abuse and the press whips up Satanic cult hysteria. Presumably Emma would be playing the daughter. Sounds creepy. Actually it sounds like that infamous case in the States in the 90s, where the FBI had to investigate all these cases of Satanic cult abuse, only to find no evidence of so much as one real Satanic cult, just mass hysteria. Could be good.
